:Aiight so I've been researching m-pedes for a while now, they are such fascinating little inverts. However, I have read that some mites are beneficial whereas others are parasitic and must be removed. So... What do the two diff types look like?

:Thanks for any info! :)
:
From what I'm experiencing the mites that live on your millipedes are benificial and good unless they get rediculous, the soil mites wich I am having a problem with need to be controlled. I am buying predatory mites which take care of the bad ones and limit their breeding. I would consider changing the substrate but I have a lot of baby millipedes and don't want to move them. I will post how it goes.
